Huskee supreme was making noise but now it kills the engine when you try to engage the blades. Blades can't be moved and belt is tight like something is locked up. What could be wrong?

SOURCE: craftman 42 inch riding mower deck shakes and make noise

I just had this happen on one of my riding mowers. The spindle bearing seized up and broke the spindle housing. I replaced the spindle, spindle bearings, and spindle housing. This solved my problem. Prior to the bearing seizing the deck was making lots of noise. If the blade hit something, the blade may have been bent and needs to be replaced. Another thing to check is that the belt is routed correctly. This can happen when you install a new belt. Operating the mower in the current condition will wear the belt out fast. I once routed the belt over a belt guide instead of under it. My mower ran, but it wasn't long and my belt was shot. An expensive lesson.

SOURCE: engine cuts out when engaging clutch or engaging blades..

lift the seat and make sure the connector is firmly plugged into the seat switch

SOURCE: When I engage the PTO, the blades don't egage.

The first thing we need to to do is verify that there is adequate /(power 12 vdc) going to the electric clutch, you can do this by unplugging the clutch and check both wires 1 should have 12 volts and the other wire shoud read infinity to ground if this checks out replace the clutch, if you dont have 12vdc to the wire replace the relay

SOURCE: lever won't engage blades

check to see if a belt came off, it would go from bottom engine pully to deck lever pully then around blade pullys on deck. the pully under neth has to tighten belt to run blades the pully is ether solid to lever or has a cable that moves it make sure cable did not break hope this helps
